How to Apply Online

All applications for both VISTA Summer Associate and full-year VISTA positions must be completed through MyAmeriCorps. Below are instructions to ensure your application is completed correctly and competitively.

Select the highest level of education you will have achieved by the time you start service. For example, if you are currently enrolled in college but will graduate before beginning service, select “College Graduate”. If you are currently enrolled, applying for a summer position, and will not have graduated before beginning service, select “Some College”.

List all post-secondary institutions you have attended with details.

Application: Community Service

For the Community Service tab, please note the following:

Describe what service means to you and what you hope to achieve through your service (250-500 words).

Alert your references that they will receive an email from AmeriCorps and reminder emails to complete the reference questionnaire.
